Be true to yourself.
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #116‘.
Good morning Friends,
People in love often wistfully demand:
“Be true to me, my darling, my dear.”
In life, with everything at your command,
Being true to yourself should bring you cheer.
Finally, for each one of us it is really true,
We also have to, with ourselves, live;
It would be a bad hobby to pursue,
A thought for yourself never to give.
Before we look at others’ faults and sins,
It is better to look ourselves in the eye;
Great humility with this one act begins,
Great knowledge our way would come by.
Judging others doesn’t require much skill,
Judging ourselves requires great prowess;
Yes the former often gives us much thrill,
But not doing the latter shows our bias.
We should always have a looking-glass ready,
In which we can at ourselves have a peep;
Those of us who have it with them already,
Would have, at night, a most peaceful sleep.
Be true to yourself today and everyday,
May you be able for yourself to know;
May your judgment never ever betray,
That you are afraid of your own shadow.
If you lie to yourself, you would be untrue to others too.
